Twitter is a way to share things quickly with your followers.
What things?
Any thing from what your doing to what you had for lunch,a quote,joke or an interesting link you’ve come across(this is the best use).These are called ‘tweets’
Followers Who?
Followers are like your friends in Facebook,Orkut etc.Typically they are of similar interests.You can refer to them as ‘tweeple’How do I add followers?
Just like Facebook,you search for them and add them.if they arent on twitter you send invites
What is following?
You can choose to follow others.Those who share your interests makes it all the more worthwhile.Say you are a biker,then follow fellow bikers to get new updates about the bikes,gear etc
Ok I get it, now what?
Ceate an account in twitter here.Do the usual stuff and customize your profile.Note : Ensure you give an apt decription for your ‘Bio’.This will help others trying to add you in their network.So if you are a good cook and share recipes often say so.
Any other uses of twitter?
Well there are many. NGO’s raise funds,Reporting Incidents Live,guys propose ,seek advice,get feedback etc.How do I follow other people?
Search for your interests and follow if you find anyone that suits you. they may follow you back.
Whats Timeline?
Its what appears on your page and includes tweets from you and those you chose to follow.
Whats Retweet(RT) ?
Its called spreading the word.Like a link/quote,pass it around. Start with “RT” and give credit to the author.Whats a Direct Message?
In those rare cases of some personal things to be discussed,use a Direct Message or DM.
Still,Why Twitter?
Twitter is a wonderful way to be in touch with your friends and events. The posts are limited to 140 characters (yep just 140),so you cant blabber around.Thus saves your time.
